E LINCOLN ASSASSINATION.

Why J. Wilkes ^Booth dent.

the Presi-

To attract the attention of the Xorth, and to give a chance for a respite to the South, John Yates Beall was sent into Canada to operate oil the frontier, as we will show irr cl^tail'iiekt week. His was a nature much' like that of Bobtn^hbtbloodcd, not cautious. Daring, but not rash. Booth tried to dissuade him from the step but in vain, but promised to stand by hLn if there came a time when the life of Beall should be in jeopardy.

For years previous to the arrest of Beali and his trial, betweeen John Wilkes Booth and himself had existed the closest intimacy. They had drank from the same cup—slept in the same bed—admired the same girls—spent convivialnights together, and 90 ran their social lives into each, that, like Damon and Pythias, they were more than brothers.

When we last saw John Wilkes Booth in Chicago, at a time during the war, when he, Artemus AVard, or Charles F. Browne, and the \yriter hereof,^ Were in the "refreshment rooni tinder McVicker's Theater, as certain men in Chicago remember, he was then, as for years, a firm friend of Beal. The friendship began long before—it never ended.

AVith the plan to abduct I/ncol:i and hold him in some isolated retreat in the South till, for his release, all Southern prisoners in Northern liapds should be given up, Beall and others, including poor

Mrs. Surratt, were familiar. AVlien Bea'll went as the special agent of the South 011 a hazardous mission, the friendship of Booth went with him.

At last Beall was arrested. He was tried and sentenced to death. Then, with him looking into the eternal mirror, our chapter begins its ending.

John Wilkes Boothe resolved to make a grand attempt to save the life of his friend Beall, and conveyed information of his purpose to him, with the whisper of hope a part thereof.

At this time Booth loved with strange and tender devotion a daughter of John P. Hale, United States Senator from New Hampshire. He worshiped her as, in his mind, the best and purest woman he had ever seen. She admired him, but not with that eternal reaching wiidness of love his

Avas

for her.

For the purpose of our recital Ave must draw aside a curtain to reveal a glimpse of a family picture.

Booth loved her for her worth, virtue, purity and goodness. But he

Avas

puted a gay man of the world, and she feared to trust her heart and destinies into his keeping, though Ave have reason to believe she greatly admired him. And her father, looking to the happiness of his daughter, as he thought, was not quite willing the alliance Booth desired should be formed. But for the gifted genius he had a liking and admiration.

One night in AVashiugton, after Beall "jva's cloojneiel, John AVilkes Booth and John P. Hale called on G. AV. McLean, of Cincinnati, who

Avas

then in AVashing-

ton. They wanted McLean to go with them to find Colonel John AAr. Forney, and, With him in company, call upon Lincoln.

McLean Avas unusually intimate Avith Lincoln, and had more influence Avith him than any other Western Democrat. And he Avas cheek by jowl AVKII Foi oey. McLean Avas to vouch for Booth, with Hale and Forney to join iu askiug. executive clemency for Beall.

It was past midnight

And

Avhen

Avas

from

master owned the pond.

the car

riage containing Hale, Booth and McLean left the hotel where the latter was stopping, and Avas driven to Forney's residence. Forney was in bed, under {he influence of liquor.

After some little talk and explanation, he arose, bathed his head in ice-water, made a liaSt^

toilett

and took:aj seat in

the carriage.. Tho party were then dm'ea to the AVhite House, reaching there about tAvo o'clock in the morning. They were admitted past the guards, and found President Lincoln in his room, not yet retired.

Then came an explanation of the object of the visit. President Lincoln sat by the side of Senator Hale and listened to the particulars. Booth then and there told that once he was in a scheme to abduct the President, not to injure him, but to aid in the release of certain friends who could not be exchanged. He told that all that Avas of tho past, so far as he Avas concerned. •, it

lie asked forStlie reprfeve of

Beall, promising on his honor as a man to ever after be as good a friend to Mr. Lincoln as a man could be to one who had rendered such a faA-or—to warn the President if it came to his knowledge that his life was in danger, and to hold himself personally responsible for the good behavior of Beall, ever afterward.

It Avas a question of life or death. Beall Avas doomed. No poAver save the Executive could saATe him. Booth pleaded Avith all the impassioned eloquence of his na&iifc, and thousands tipon thousands knoAV what that Avas.

Senator Hale asked the pardon of Beall as a favor to himself and family. Forney asked for it for the reasons then and there given, as did McLean, and the reasons Ave can give at ilie proper time.

Booth told the President of .their longestablished friendship—)f his love for the braV'e, adveiitu rous spirif —of Jife love for the young man AVIIO was doing for his people in the South just what a patriot in the North Avould have done f«r vho cause and the people dear to him.

President Lincoln was greatly moved, even to tears, and gave to Booth hisAVord of honor as a man that he should be pardoned.

There Avas both joy and happiness in that room. Bowth k'ssed the hand of the President, and thanked him with fearj^Heyea choked-voice* even after his friends had taSen their hate" to leave the presence of the Chief Magistrate of the nation, AVIIO had promised, «^idgwhose promise was by Booth rwied upon.

But alas for humdn promise r' Beal was hung. The President did not keep hisAvord did not pardon him. Seward, whose tinkling bell sent his betters to bastiles, said it would not do—that Lincoln's duty to the Republican party demanded the execution of Beal to keep tinted the seutiment of the North for such blood.

Lincoln said Beall must be pardoned, for he had prpmi^ec^itv. "Sfeward.jaid'tie^u»tTiy| Ije pardoned, or there would "be strange revalments.

And so the President weakened Avithheld his pardon, and poor Beal suffered for patriotic devotion Avith his life.

AVhen Booth learned that Lincoln had lied to him, and not kept his sacred promise, his face turned to the pallor of death, ikjciiKpg^ became white, his eyes seemed

r6&fly tc burst from their sockets, and he swore by the Eternal God that he would kill the man who had lied to him, and that his own right hand, then raised to heaATen, should avenge tue death of his comrade. And it did. .EQQth called to his counsel but few ftienfis, some-t# s^Jiom were in Washington, two ot whom were not. He marked the President for his own avenging, and to others Avas given in charge to kill Seward at the same hour, for his interference.

As we believe, under the directing power of another world, Bootli'js hand did avenge the death of Beall. He was

the martyr to private feelings, for he knew that almost certain death awaited him, but he eared not for that.

But Seward lived. There was not that "lightning" in the hearts of those who were deputed to aid Booth iu his avenging that filled the soul of one who settled so terrribly in full with the President.

Yocrc, Aug. 1.—Before the Har-

mooia left port the bnovs and lights had been removed from the Elbe, on which river Hamburg is situated, and therefore the steamer had to proceed slowly and with g'-eat caution. After getting into the sea she steeled for north, thereby avoiding French and Br' ish coasts and its supposed dangers. The sleamer will remain in this port a few days. They present their line in the same condition as Breman and cannot run steamers until the close of the wa •, or uhtil they are disposed of.

To-day the shirt of AVashiogton Nathan, son of the murdered broker, was chemically examined, and it is said that scientific chenrsts cannot detect whether the blood upon the shirt came upon it from afresh wound, or whether it was rubbed 0.1 several hours after it escaped from the body. The water pipes and tanks were removed from the bouse toda^and examined, but the result has not been made knoAvn.

The Prussian residents of AVilliamsburg held an immense meeting yesterday evening, at which they expressed the.'i* sympathy with Prussia in the present struggle.

August 2.—Important dis

patches have been received from the Hague, announcing that a disperate na\'al battle has been fought off the Germain coast, resulting in the loss of a Prussian cruiser.

Later telegrams from the Hague state that on AVednesday last two Freuch cruiseiiB overtook some Prussian gunboai's on the North German coast, a few miles distant from Cuxhaven, a villiage fifty-eight miles nortlrvvest from Hamburg,, on the Avest .bank of the Elbe. .,,

I'he actiou was spirited, and resulted in the destruction of one of the Prussion gunboats, she being sunk by the shot of the enemy.

The campaign of war is far from being complete when they commence hostilities. The Times also publishes letters expressive of alarm at the condition of England's defeases, which are represented to be deplorable state of unprea''ednes$

The Times says the neutrality laws of England are inadequate in their pro visons, and the most of them inoperative, and that the-Goyernncwent should, therefore, ask' Rtr^atAfedlfaiy' p'o\v6o.*v"? The same paper, referring to the melancholy though natural public impatience for news of a battle, says that the delay in active operations on the part of the opposiug armies, has clearly shown that the preparations of the be1 ligerents are for a campa'gn. Mf

Gladstone introduced a bill which has been under consideration in the Cabinet for the past few days, for a supplement naval and military estimate of two naillion pounds sterli og, and for an increase of the army 20,000 men. The proposed measure was received i{i the House with

loud cries of "hear hear, hear." The bill will be acted upon without delay, and judging from the feeling in the Par liament upon the war question, will in all probability receive a decided majority of the House, in view of the action that prevails in tho war and naval depart ments of the Government.

Disraeli censures the Government for reducing the army and banishing dock hand employes, &c., to Canada, and declares it the duty of England to intimate at once, her determ-nation'to enforce the treaty of 1815.

Mr. Gladstone takes opposite ground and thinks decidedly better government exhibit unequivalent, 'iend'ess to both belligerent Powers.

Correspondents declare the inadequacy of England's cavalry and artilleiy to take the field to compete with any formidable enemy. The writers further complain of the condition of the army transports for the conveyance of troops, and says that only 25,000 men are available in the whole United Kingdom to garrison the entire defenses of England and afford protection to the coast.

The Work of tlie Republican Party not yet Finished. On this question George William Curtis says, with characteristic clearness, in Harper's Weekly:

Old issues cannot be set aside until they are settled. The mere ascendency of a party, and the adoption of certain measures, do not set them aside. Nothing disiDoses of political issues but general acquiescence. There is, indeed, one point in our controversy which has been settled, and that is emancipation. No party wishes, or would try to restore chattel slavery. But is the political

equality

of all citizens a, settled issue?

No one'who is familiar with Democratic politics asserts it. Some Democrats think that it ought to be settled but they do not deny that the pacty has not acquiesced. Is the honest payment of the debt a settled issue Is what is called State Sovereignty a settled issue On the contrary, the great questions of the war, excepting that of personal servitude, are still open. No Democratic convention has hea 'tily expressed acquiescence ia their settlement nor is there anybody Avho does not knosv that,

the Demo

cratic jmity came into power, every one of those questions might instantly become threatening.

It is not time, there "ore. to assume that the old tlrngs having passed away, all things have become new and that it is not of ve'/y vital impo tance whether or not the Denioc a tic pa iy is successful. Old things have not passed away. So emeidous a civil convulsion as the Avar cauaot snddehl.v subside and leave it, in five years, a matter of indifference to the cot whet'ier those who strove to deSt "ov it shall control its government. It is fo. getfulness of this fact iu AVashingtoo, and by many Renubl'can papers, which has caused an appearauce of discord in the party.

The enormous frauds at the New York poi-s, which the Democrat party could prevent, and does not, are now an essential weapon of that party for securing its ascendency the country. With that asceodency comes no acquiescence in the settlement of the war, but ihe bitterest host jty to them. With that ascendency comes possible repudiation and the attempt to nA-alidaie the Fifteenth Amendmeat. Coukl the:*e be any political catastrophe more to be deprecated?

Upon what pi iacfple of patriotism or honor does Qiiy Republican excuse his jotlifTerence? "What codceivable advantage to the welfare of the count. Is promised by Democratic success? The sole hope of the undisturbed industry and prosperity of the Union lies in the continued predominance of,the Republican paitv.

MEM"fT s. August 1.—Another terrible steamboat disaster occurred at Pacific, a place tbi'ty miles above here, at twelve o'clock last night. The stera wheeler Silver Sp^ay- om New CMeaus, for Cincinnati, with a barge in tow, exp'oded her boile-s, killing and wounding a number of the crew and passengers, and then took fire.

Mr. Singleton, second cie-:k, states that just as the watch was ca'Jed the explosion took place. In a moment the boat was wrapped inflames, and nothing was left for the survivors but to plunge into the river, a distance of three hundred yards from the nearest shore. Owing to the darkness of the night it was impossible to lender a ay assistance to the wounded. The books of the p-'neipai officers we 'e lost.

It is impossible to obtain a fu'l list of the lost. A noted negro desperado named Charles AVilson, who had been in jail for beating his wife, went to the residence of Col. A. J. Martin, at Buntin's Station, near the city, yesterday, *where she had gone, and attempted to kill her. She ran to the house, and was met at tlie door by Mrs. Martin, who attempted to save her, was shot by the villain and probab'y fatally wounded. As soon as she fell,'AVilson shot his wi,*e through the body and fled to the woods. Medical assistance was promptly secured, but owing to the approaching confinement of Mrs. Martin but little hope is entertained of her recovery. The citizens are scour"ag the woods in quest of the desperado.

The negroes polled a very heavy vote. The returns give the Democrats majorities ranging .*om 2,200 to 5,000in the city, and 1,000 to 1,300 in the county. The candidates receiving the smallest majoiities had, besides the Republican opponents, independent Democrats to contend against.

So far as heard from throughout the State, the Democrats have elected their ticket for coi'uty officers, good order and quiet preva" og.

rations for war on the part of Prussia are being carried on with great activity. Trenches have been opened two leagues from Cologne, and entrenched camps established on the triangle formed by Cologne, Coblentz and Treves.

The fine park of Cologne and the magnificent chateau of banker Oppenheim have been razed.

Mayence is in a state of sieje, and occupied by %,000 soldiers. Trenches have been opened in front of the city, and persons unable to provide themselves with six weeks provisions have been notified to depart.

A large force is encamped 011 the heights of St. Hubert, overlooking the valley of the Nahe, which will protect the important group of coalmines at that place, and command the junction o_' the railroad from Bingerbouck to London.

A dispatch from Paris states that the Emperor's headquarters to-night are at St. A volt, near the frontier. This indicates a general engagement close at hand.

It is certain that England will take action to defend Belgium. Tho Times says Mr. Gladstone's speech at the Mansion House meeting, last Saturday evening, proves that he recognizes war. and is ready to meet it.

The French squadron is still cruising ofl'Taursa, Scotland. The report that the British tioops are now occupying Antwerp is untrue.

No news of any battle has been received, but the streets are full of rumors, as usual. One is that the French fleet arrived before Hamburg and attacked the defenses. Jt is not, however, generally credited.

The decree prohibiting exportations, recently issued by Prussia, is ascribed simply to the probable existence of a blockade.

As soon as the ropes burned off the wheels began to re volve, $nd there was presented the novel spectacle of a steamer proceeding up stream without human guidance. She had progressed but a few hundred feet when the steam-pipe burst, and the wreck floated to Wolf Island where she burned to the water's edge. Though there were many narrow escapes, no lives were lost. The boat was valued at about $10,000. Amount of Insurance unknown. '•••v.-"'-" JKr
